I am so happy with the success of my surgery. I am sixty years old and it was not a guarantee that it would be successful. 85% so I am very happy indeed. As well as telling you everything, Mr Durnea provides excellent information sheets with full information to read at home. I found this very helpful.

It’s an experience that has put me on the path of recovery. It’s been some visit to see Dr. Durnea for Pelvic prolapse and he recommended the cube pessary which is helping me. But I have been having a terrible waist pain for which I have been to see my GP but painkillers were given and it is not helping. I mentioned to Dr. Durnea that the pain was really bad and he sent me for MRI which showed and abnormally. This has led me to see a physiotherapist and I have been given nerve injections and referred for further investigations. I am grateful to Dr. Durnea for having a holistic view of my condition for which I have been taking loads of NSAIDS. I am on the mend. Thank you.
